幽默故事

A man who had been married for ten years was consulting （请教） a marriage counselor （顾问） .

“When I was first married，I was very happy．I'd come home from a hard day down at the shop，and my little dog would race around barking，and my wife would bring me my slippers．Now everything's changed．When I come home，my dog brings me my slippers，and my wife barks at me.”

“I don't know what you're complaining about，”said the counselor，“You're still getting the same service.”

参考译文

“刚结婚时，我很幸福。在市区的商店辛苦一天回家后，小狗围着我又跑又叫，妻子给我拿来拖鞋。现在一切都变了。我回到家后，小狗给我拿来拖鞋，妻子对我又喊又叫。”

“我不知道这有什么好抱怨的，”顾问说，“你得到的待遇还是一样的嘛”。
